Also in my experience a lot of hip hop "intellectuals" are toys that have no real connection to the culture of hip hop other than listening to the music. I was at Rock The Bells and kinda felt like 1/2 the crowd was like that buying those "I am Hip Hop Shirts" yet having some other dude airbrush your shit onto a shirt (Though the more likely reason was because a lot of the people came to see Rage). If dudes weren't writers, DJ's, emcees, bboy/girl, back when the movement was going on (and not wack ones, i'll take average cuz then that means they put in some work in the scene), then i feel that they have 0 credibility in teaching a course.

Just my opinion tho, no hate
